This is the actual quote, "O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us. And foolish notion; What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us, And ev'n devotion!"

Ok, why is it called to a louse? I already know.Just checking.An aside : in Dunedin, New Zealand there is a statue of Robert Burns, his back is to the Cathedral and he faces 5 bars.Nice tribute to the man I'd say.

When I go to a party with my wife....I sometimes for a laugh introduce her as my first wife. Hi john, I would like to introduce you to my first wife Beth. Then watch there eyes roll around as their brain chuggs to a stop, mouth drops and then closes.

Or for kicks I will ask my mother in law if I can talk with my "old lady" when my wife is over there.
